Why Construction Sites Need Proactive Security
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Construction sites are undoubtedly one of the most challenging environments to protect from a security perspective. Construction sites are a virtual free-for-all with multiple points of entry and exits with various contractors and subcontractors coming and going at different times throughout the day.
Without proactive security measures in place, construction sites are at risk from thieves attracted to goods. From materials, tools, equipment and even fuel, thieves can be enticed by open construction sites. These open sites are also at risk of vandalism.

Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –

When considering a protection service firm ask:
- About what technologies are used.
- The level of experience with using technology to improve security.
- What training and expertise in using technology.
